The four plaintiffs, prisoners in Hull Prison, were charged with disciplinary offences before the board of visitors to the prison. In the case of each plaintiff the board held an inquiry found the charges proved and imposed penalties. Three of the plaintiffs brought actions by writ in the Queen's Bench *238 Division of the High Court against the board alleging that it had acted in breach of the Prison Rules and the rules of natural justice and claiming a declaration that the board's findings against them and the penalties awarded were void and of no effect. The fourth plaintiff started proceedings by originating summons in the Chancery Division against the Home Office and the board of visitors alleging bias by a member of the board and claiming a declaration that the board's adjudication was void for want of natural justice. In all four cases the defendants applied to strike out the proceedings. Peter Pain J. dismissed the applications. The Court of Appeal reversed that decision and struck out the proceedings on the ground that they were an abuse of the process of the court and that the plaintiffs' only proper remedy was by way of judicial review under R.S.C., Ord. 53. On the plaintiffs' appeal to the House of Lords with leave of the Court of Appeal:- Held dismissing the appeals, that since all the remedies for the infringement of rights protected by public law could be obtained on an application for judicial review, as a general rule it would be contrary to public policy and an abuse of the process of the court for a plaintiff complaining of a public authority's infringement of his public law rights to seek redress by ordinary action and that, accordingly, since in each case the only claim made by the plaintiff was for a declaration that the board of visitors' adjudication against the plaintiff was void, it would be an abuse of the process of the court to allow the actions to proceed and thereby avoid the protection afforded to statutory tribunals (post, pp. 274H - 275A, 285D-E, G-H, 286A-C). Reg. v. Board of Visitors of Hull Prison, Ex parte St. Germain [1979] Q.B. 425, C.A. approved. Anisminic Ltd. v. Foreign Compensation Commission [1969] 2 A.C. 147 H.L. (E.), considered. Per curiam. Whatever may have been the position before the rule was altered, in all proceedings for judicial review that have been started since 1977 the grant of leave to cross-examine deponents on applications for judicial review is governed by the same principles as it is in actions begun by originating summons; it should be allowed whenever the justice of the particular case so requires (post, pp. 282G - 283A). Dictum of Geoffrey Lane L.J. in Reg. v. Board of Visitors of Hull Prison, Ex parte St. Germain (No. 2) [1979] 1 W.L.R. 1401, 1410, D.C. explained. Decision of the Court of Appeal, post, p. 250F Et Seq.; [1982] 3 W.L.R. 604; [1982] 3 All E.R. 680 affirmed.

CASE: Wilkerson Company
Introduction
Wilkerson Company is in the business of manufacturing valves, pumps and flow controllers. Wilkerson is currently faced with declining profit margins relative to industry competitors. Severe industry wise price cuts in the pump business, which is Wilkerson’s major product line, has badly affected the company’s margins (Gross margin below 20% as against a planned gross margin of 35%). The firm has identified the need to investigate its costing mechanisms and determine their credibility comparable to those exercised elsewhere in the market. The need of the hour for Wilkerson is to identify the proper mix of its product line to regain its profitability.
Wilkerson is a quality leader, but this leadership may soon be contested be several competitors. Competitive firms have adopted a strategy of measuring profitability proportionate to the contribution margin i.e. price less variable cost. Wilkerson is considering adopting similar mechanisms and has multiple operational opportunities for re-measurement. Of particular concern, the question is whether Wilkerson’s cost inhibitive production of water purification pumps, and their inability to accurately assign the manufactured cost of the product relative to industry competitors, resulting in a 15% decline in total periodic...

Cases
The Court is authorized to sit either en banc or in divisions of 3, 5 or 7 members. Since the 1970s, the Court has constituted itself in 3 division with 5 members each. A majority of the cases are heard and decided by the divisions, rather than the court en banc. However, the Constitution requires that the Court hear en banc “[a]ll cases involving the constitutionality of a treaty, international or executive agreement,” as well as “those involving the constitutionality, application, or operation of presidential decrees, proclamations, orders, instructions, ordinances, and other regulations”. [9] The Court en banc also decides cases originally heard by a division when a majority vote cannot be reached within the division. The Court also has the discretion to hear a case en banc even if no constitutional issue is involved, as it typically does if the decision would reverse precedent or presents novel or important questions.
Appellate review
Far and away the most common mode by which a case reaches the Supreme Court is through an appeal from a decision rendered by a lower court. Appealed cases generally originate from lawsuits or criminal indictments filed and tried before the...

Cape Chemical Case: Cash and Profits
Throughout history, the business community doesn’t necessarily think of a chemical, wholesale distributor, as having the ability to reach double-digit growth rates, all while revolutionizing the distribution process. But that is exactly what Cape Chemical has done. By offering “next day delivery,” the company was able to differentiate itself from its competitors and gain a significantly larger market share than those same adversaries. But with the new increase in demand, a lack of borrowing power, a very “loose” accounts payable collection system and a growing inventory pool, Cape Chemical ran into cash flow issues. Since they are running into cash flow issues now, even with double-digit growth rates year over year, we can only assume that the company will have a even larger financial burden when those same normal, growth rates slow. I have outlined three scenarios, all of which will benefit Cape Chemical almost immediately, and most importantly, benefit and lower their financial stress in the long run. I also have left an open mind about the possibility of a combination of scenarios as being Cape Chemical’s best option going forward. The three scenarios are all relatively simple fixes, and are as follows: tighten the schedule of when customers pay their bills, keep lower inventory levels and lastly, lower, both, fixed and variable costs that the company may endure throughout the year.
Scenario one starts with Cape...

CASE SUMMARY
As retail America is undergoes a dramatic change with the constant consolidation of companies, management must strive to maintain a competitive advantage or risk being acquired. The worldwide success of Wal-Mart has led many to diversify and heed the adage that “bigger is indeed better.” An example in the global grocery industry is the Ahold Group (Netherlands) which now operates in more than 17 countries including their recent acquisition of New York based Pathmark. In the U.S. grocery industry, the merger between Albertson’s and American Stores, and the U.S. Chain Drug landscape has rapidly changed over the last two years with only four major players left standing: CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreen’s, and Eckerd.
As the retail community shrinks, they put greater emphasis on their suppliers for quality products at a competitive price that enables them to make healthy margins to attract consumers. If one manufacturer cannot supply the necessary ingredients, retailers will look for other alternatives. This environment has provided an opportunity to shake up an otherwise mature...

CASE STUDY: ILLUSORY PROMISE
REGULATION
INSTRUCTOR ELAINE LERNER
SECTION AC502-01N
BY CARLOS ESTRELLA
-------------------------------------------------
Culbertson vs. Brodsky: a Case for Illusory Promise
Illusory Promise is said to be a statement, a promise, and or an assurance that appears to assure a person or an entity to do or execute an action or activity and form a contract which, when properly scrutinized, leaves to the speaker the choice of performance or nonperformance, meaning that the speaker is not legally bound to act upon his/her statement. It is a situation whereby the provisions of the promise make the performance of the promise optional or completely within the discretion, pleasure, and control, of the person that made the promise. When this happens, it is believed that there has been nothing promised.
Lack of mutuality is a ground for a statement and or promise to be considered illusory promise. If an agreement grants only one party consideration of any kind, the agreement is not considered to be a binding legal contract. For instance, for my colleague to promise to pay my school fees for as long as I want to go to school is not a binding legal agreement; rather it is an illusory promise because, the subject of the promise is not such that asks for anything in return and my colleague does not receive any consideration for the promised payment, and did...

DNSC 6202 Introduction to Project Management

Question 1
Pan-Europa is facing a tipping point coming out of the price wars. It’s increased need to reduce its debt ratio points to a strategy of needing significant increased infusion of revenue through investment in low-risk, high-return capital projects that will contribute to sustained long-term profitability. The challenge remains in selecting projects that will not significantly increase their current debt threshold and not eclipse the earmarked funds for capital investments. It is recommended to select investments that will not necessitate cuts to normal business operations- share dilution or current dividend rates- but lead to greater performance within their marked budget and profitability to shareholders (increase in stock price).
Increasing Net Income, Earnings per Share and Shareholders Equity (market value) are critically important, as they have steadily declined and are directly correlated to increased overall debt the company is currently holding. Also of high importance is Gross Sales, even though they have been proportionally static despite seeing profitability and earnings steadily decline. Investing in projects that are low-risk, profitable (short and long-term) and promote Growth Sales will result in greater performance over future years and...

The era of globalization has been earmarked by the growing political, cultural, and economic climate that surrounds the global community. The landscape that makes up theses various categories can be dissolved into various sub-categories that give validity to the cumulative globalization process. While the light of globalization may be focused on industrial endowed, and labor abundant economies, Iceland has made great strides to become an active participant in the global community. Their political atmosphere and economic structure that dominates, encourages cooperation, open trade, and interdependency between the global communities.
It would not be until the occupation of Iceland by Nazi Germany, till the emergence of an independently assumed foreign administration would be present in Iceland. The bi-lateral defense agreement that emerged as a result of WWII between the United States and Iceland has been marked as the initial steps to making Iceland part of the global community. This led to Iceland becoming a founding member of NATO, and too a continued progressive role globally. The post WWII Republic of Iceland has made gradual steps to integrate into the global community economically and politically. With the adoption of a free market economy post 1951, and a representative democratic political idealism, Iceland has found goals that are...
